After the awesome announcement regarding Vainglory‘s official esports tournament, comes some even better news for players. Vainglory’s newest hero, Fortress, has finally been added to the smash hit MOBA game which has really changed the genre for mobile devices. Sporting fangs and a wolf-like figure, Fortress is one of the tougher characters that has been added to the game.

Fortress prefers to his prey, close in with teammates, then flank his targets and creates multi-front confrontations. From marking his prey and short-range lunge attacks to clawing targets and causing them to take damage every second, Fortress is certainly a force to be reckoned with in the Halcyon Fold. While this is just the main event of the update, here are some of the smaller details just in case you don’t look over them:

Adds Tier I skins for Ardan, Joule & Krul.

Adds Tier II skins for Glaive, Koshka & Ringo.

Adds more cards, including Epic rarity!

Skins for the remaining heroes will arrive in future updates.

Co-op vs Basic Bots: VERY simple bots help new players learn and give players a way to try out new builds.

Super Evil Megacorp, developers of the hit iOS MOBA Vainglory, have partnered with ESL to hold the first official Vainglory Cup Series. The online competition begins today all across Europe, with the top two teams competing in the finals on June 14th for a cash prize and Nvidia Shield tablets. The Vainglory Cup Series 2015 marks Super Evil’s first introduction to the world of eSports, bringing mobile games to an environment ruled by PCs.

In Vainglory, players battle real opponents in console-quality game that features amazing graphics, super fast controls, powerful heroes. The gameplay is composed of players that must destroy the enemy’s Vain crystal to claim victory in 3-vs-3 multiplayer combat. The Vainglory Cup Series allows teams to collect points during nine qualifier rounds on the way to the online finals. The top eight teams after the qualifying phase will advance to the elimination rounds. From there, the top two teams will compete on June 14th to determine who goes home with the grand prize.

“Vainglory will be the first purely mobile MOBA tournament in ESL history, and we can’t wait to see the matches starting next week, streamed live from our studio in Frankfurt,” said Jens Hilgers, Founder and Chairman of ESL. “We are strong believers in the future eSports on touch devices, and we have chosen Vainglory as the first mobile MOBA as it delivers AAA quality, greatly balanced competitive gameplay, best in class touch controls, and last but not least, is developed by a rockstar team with eSports in their DNA.”

Vainglory, an ultra popular MOBA for touchscreen devices, has gotten an all-new update that introduces the most recently announced hero, Vox, as well as spectator mode for private matches. Vox is the third member of the family entering the Halcyon Fold. The previous updates introduced father Ardan and daughter Celeste to the game which we previously reported on. Unlike other characters, Vox uses sound to destroy his opponents and assist his team.While moving through dangerous territory, this new character can emit a sonic pulse that echoes off enemies, revealing them and providing a critical tactical advantage. From there, Vox can attack and cause damage to bounce between nearby enemies.

The recent version 1.3 update also includes Spectator Mode in private matches — a highly requested feature based on player’s feedback. When creating a private party, the captain can now invite two additional members to join the match as spectators, giving them access to all the bells and whistles revealed at PAX East 2015. Lastly, this update also features other changes like new art for skill tiers, changes to gameplay, and rebalancing of some items and heroes.
